Enterprising Spirit

The spirit of Hong Kong is also known as the spirit of “Below the Lion Rock”: hardworking, perseverance and continuous self-reliance. Since the 80’s and the 90’s, when industries moved northwards, the society began to transform, and Hong Kong has become an international financial city! The mentality of Hong Kongers has also changed, and Taiwanese scholar Lung Ying-tai calls it “the values of Central”. Financial and real estate transactions can create wealth, but they can also create bubbles. Some industrialists and entrepreneurs still believe that creativity is the essence of sustainable development for a society. Garment factory proprietor Eva Siu and Keith Li are two of Hong Kong’s entrepreneurs. Will “the values of Central” turn Hong Kong into a monotonous society? Is Hong Kong still pluralistic and open, encouraging creativity and enjoying freedom?
